Technical analysis and fundamental analysis are the two basic areas of strategy in the Forex trading market which is the exact same as in the equity markets. However, technical analysis is by far the most common forex strategy that is used by individual Forex traders. Here is a brief overview of both forms of analysis and how they directly apply to Forex trading:
Fundamental Analysis
If you think it's hard enough to value one company, you should try valuing a whole country instead. Fundamental analysis in the Forex market is often an extremely difficult one, and it's usually used only as a means to predict long-term trends. However it is important to mention that some traders do trade short term strictly on news releases. There are a lot of different fundamental indicators of the currency values released at many different times. Here are a few of them to get you started:
* Non-farm Payrolls
* Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)
* Consumer Price Index (CPI)
* Retail Sales
* Durable Goods
